About the Item

These are two 1970s modernist ceramic vases designed by Enzo Bicchioli for Il Picchio. The design is characterized by a minimalist and architectural aesthetic, featuring clean lines and modular forms. The vases are composed of a series of interconnected rectangular blocks of varying heights, giving them a stepped, geometric profile reminiscent of urban skylines or Brutalist architecture. The color is a pristine, matte white, which emphasizes the sleek, sculptural qualities of the design and aligns with the minimalist trends of the time. The white glaze has a smooth, unadorned finish that enhances the purity and simplicity of the forms. Each block has a cylindrical opening at the top, serving as a receptacle for flowers or greenery. The varying heights and orientations of the openings allow for creative arrangements and add a dynamic, asymmetrical quality to the composition. This design emphasizes functionality while maintaining a distinctly artistic and modernist aesthetic. Enzo Bicchioli’s work for Il Picchio is highly regarded for its innovative and bold approach to ceramic design, and these vases exemplify his ability to merge form and function seamlessly. They are in excellent vintage condition.
